Chapter 311 Chapter 311 Hector's words caught Teresa off guard . The atmosphere froze in an instant . 42 D 165 vouchers After a short silence . Teresa smiled at Hector and Sylvia . " Let's eat , the food looks fantastic . I bet it's delicious . Teresa decided to deal with Hector's feelings by simply ignoring them . If I say things too bluntly , it's just going to make everyone even more awkward , Teresa thought to herself . Hector didn't say anything more . He picked up the serving chopsticks and attentively served food to Teresa .
As for Sylvia , Hector simply turned to her and said , " Sylvia , the food here tastes great . Have a bite ." From the sidelines , Sylvia instantly figured out what was going on . Hector was obviously into Teresa . All these years , Sylvia had nursed a crush on Hector . The guy was a catch , and women were always around him , yet he somehow managed to stay single .
Sylvia had always joked to herself : ' Either he has some weird preference , or his heart already belongs to someone .' Sylvia never knew who Hector cared about , but tonight , watching how he doted on Teresa , everything made perfect sense to her . Even though Sylvia felt a little disappointed , she couldn't help but respect how Hector had stuck to his feelings all these years . Meanwhile , Hector served Teresa some more food . Seeing this , Teresa quickly thanked him politely , " Thank you .
" Hector's eyes were gentle and doting as he said to Teresa , " You don't have to be so formal with me . " Teresa smiled and didn't say anything else . Sylvía sat quietly on the other side , taking care of her own plate and serving herself without waiting for anyone else . To keep things from getting awkward , Teresa kept tossing out random topics and tried her best to draw Sylvia into the conversation . Fortunately , Sylvia wasn't the petty or jealous kind . When she found out Hector had feelings for Teresa , she simply accepted it , no drama at all .
All in all , dinner remained pretty chill and everyone managed to get along . Just as dinner was halfway through , Teresa raised her head to look at Sylvia across the table , and out of the 18:41 Sat , Oct 18 Chapter 311 corner of her eye , she caught sight of Troy striding in through the front door . ( 42 IZ 55 vouchers It was drizzling outside - when he pulled aside the door curtain and entered , a faint mist clung to his clothes . Troy swept his gaze around the room , and with unerring precision , his eyes locked onto Teresa .
As their gazes collided in the air , Teresa instantly averted her eyes . But Troy just strolled over , stopped beside Hector , and leaned down to say to Teresa , " Sweetheart , having dinner with friends ? " Teresa didn't lift her head , nor did she bother to answer him . Seeing her ignore him , Troy flashed a cocky grin , then turned to Hector . " Mind if I join you guys for dinner , Mr. Reed ? " For once , Hector dropped the gentleman act . He shot back , " Yeah , I do . " Troy saw that coming from a mile away . He didn't get mad and just let out a chuckle . " What's with the attitude ?

I'm happy to cover my own meal ." Hearing that , Hector quickly said , " No need - it's on me . " Sure , this place wasn't cheap , but it's not like Hector couldn't afford it . He could easily afford to treat Teresa and Sylvia to dinner at a place like this . Since Hector said that , Troy dropped the debate and flashed a grin . " Okay then , I'm really going to order . Just a heads up - I never hold back when I'm at the table . " With that , he snatched up the menu and started ordering like he owned the place .
Just as Troy grabbed the menu , Teresa finally lifted her gaze and , with a cool look , told him , " This is a college reunion . " The message couldn't have been clearer - she was practically showing him the door . Troy caught her meaning right away , but didn't let it faze him at all . " Yeah , I know . I'm just here to grab a bite , that's all . " With that , he called over the waiter , ordered two extra dishes , and shut the menu . The waiter jotted down the order and headed off . Seeing Troy shamelessly invite himself to dinner , Teresa felt a wave of annoyance .
She glanced at Hector and Sylvia and suggested , " Hector , Sylvia , maybe we should just go eat somewhere else ? " But Hector shook his head . " It's fine . Let's just cat . " Hector understood all too well - if Troy could find them here , he'd track them down no matter where they 18:41 Sat , Oct 18 Chapter 311 went AGAZY IX 50 vouchers No matter how many times they switched locations tonight , Troy would always show up After hearing Hector's response , Teresa had a delayed realization - there really was no escaping Troy tonight . So. Teresa let it go and didn't bring up leaving again .
Seeing that nobody was leaving , Troy slipped around Hector , clearly planning to snag the seat next to Teresa , But Hector was quicker - he slid into the spot beside her before Troy could even blink . Troy frowned , but instead of getting upset , he pushed his tongue into his cheek and chuckled , " Mr. Reed , guess that medical training really pays off - you're quick on your feet , " Hector gave a tight , insincere smile . " You flatter me , Mr. Hamilton .
" With no other option , Troy had no choice but to take the seat Hector had just vacated , As soon as he sat down , he noticed Sylvia kept sneaking glances in his direction . Curious , Troy turned his head and said , " Hi there . " Sylvia propped up her chin , her wide eyes twinkling with curiosity as she checked Troy out from head to toe . It wasn't that she found him attractive or anything - it was just that Troy's face seemed annoyingly familiar , like she'd run into him somewhere before . But no matter how hard she tried , she just couldn't place him .
When Troy started talking to her , Sylvia couldn't help blurting out , " You know , you look really familiar . " Troy had heard that line a million times . He gave her a lazy grin . " That's what everyone says when they're trying to hit on me . " But Sylvia looked dead serious . " I'm not kidding . I really feel like I've seen you somewhere before . " Troy had heard every pick - up line in the book , so he didn't take her seriously . He just teased , " Maybe you saw me in your dreams ?
" Sylvia rolled her eyes at his cocky reply , let out a sharp breath , and said with a smirk , " You're pretty full of yourself ." Troy just grinned , " Well , I wouldn't go that far . " Teresa overheard every word of their exchange . When Sylvia mentioned that Troy looked familiar , Teresa couldn't help but think , " That's strange . Why does Sylvia feel like she knows Troy too ? ' ' Maybe Troy's so - called lifesaver wasn't actually me after all ? ' Teresa wondered . 18:41 Sat , Oct 18 Chapter 311 : 42 55 vouchers When the new dishes came out .
Troy put a couple of portions onto Teresa's plate before finally starting on his own meal . After tasting a few bites and realizing the food was actually pretty decent , Troy was about to help Teresa to some more . But Teresa politely declined . " Thanks for the offer , but I'm already stuffed , " she said . Hearing that , Troy just shrugged and focused on his own plate , not bothering her anymore . Seeing this . Hector picked up his chopsticks and put some more food on Teresa's plate .
This time , Teresa didn't turn him down - she took her time eating what Hector had picked out especially for her . Troy huffed quietly under his breath when he saw that , unable to stop himself . He wasn't happy about it , but he kept his irritation bottled up and didn't let it show . Sylvia sat off to the side , already pretty much done with her meal , but she just couldn't stop sneaking glances at Troy .
Troy was good - looking and kind of a standout , but Sylvia just kept getting this weird sense of déjà vu whenever she looked at him - like she'd run into him before , but for the life of her , she couldn't place it . Her mind felt like mush , so she decided to just drop it and stop trying to figure him out . AD Comment Send gift
